will be used by the children at school to make their learning easier. in addition, there will be much more other machines which will play a similar role as computers, like robots which will do the housework for us. spending holiday will also be completely different. travelling to other planets or to the moon will be available for everyone. means of transport will, of course, change, too. we

be in better condition. although we cant predict the exact changes which will be made in the world, we often think about them. we worry about our and our childrens future; we have expectations, hopes as well as fears. but i think we should be rather sanguine about our future. we should be happy and believe good things will happen. 【文章大意】本文主要预测2050年的生活将会是怎样的。1. why will people probably feel a

(2012新课标全国,d)改编grown-ups are often surprised by how well they remember something they learned as children but have never practiced ever since.a man who has not had a chance to go swimming for years can still swim as well as ever when he gets back in the water.he can get on a bicycle after many years and still ride away.he can play catch and hit a ball as well as his son.a mother who has not thought about the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins “twinkle,twinkle,little star” or remember the story of cinderella or goldilocks and the three bears.one explanation is the law of overlearning,which can be stated as follows:once we have learned something,additional learning trials increase the length of time we will remember it.in childhood we usually continue to practice such skills as swimming,bicycle riding,and playing baseball long after we have learned them.we continue to listen to and remind ourselves of words such as “twinkle,twinkle,little star” and childhood tales such as cinderella and goldilocks.we not only learn but overlearn.the multiplication tables (乘法口诀表) are an exception to the general rule that we forget rather quickly the things that we learn in school,because they are another of the things we overlearn in childhood.the law of overlearning explains why cramming (突击学习) for an examination,though it may result in a passing grade,is not a satisfactory way to learn a college course.by cramming,a student may learn the subject well enough to get by on the examination,but he is likely soon to forget almost everything he learned.a little overlearning,on the other hand,is really necessary for ones future development.1.what is the main idea of paragraph 1?()a.people remember well what they learned in childhood.b.children have a better memory than grown-ups.c.poem reading is a good way to learn words.d.stories for children are easy to remember.2.the author explains the law of overlearning by .a.presenting research findingsb.setting down general rulesc.making a comparisond.using examples3.according to the author,being able to use multiplication tables is .a.a result of overlearningb.a special case of crammingc.a skill to deal with math problemsd.a basic step towards advanced studies4.what is the authors opinion on cramming?()a.it leads to failure in college exams.b.its helpful only in a limited way.c.its possible to result in poor memory.d.it increases students learning interest.语篇解读:本文为说明文。为什么我们儿时学到的东西在间隔了多年后仍然记忆犹新?这也许是由“过度学习法则”所决定的。答案及剖析:1.a主旨大意题。本段的第一句话为主题句,可以概括本段主题,即人们通常会记得儿时学到的一些东西,下文主要对此进行举例说明。2.d推理判断题。文章第三段列举了很多例子来解释说明the law of overlearning,如游泳、骑自行车、打棒球等。3.a事实细节题。根据倒数第二段“.because they are another of the things we overlearn in childhood.”可知,能运用乘法口诀也是因为在儿时的“过度学习”。4.b推理判断题。根据最后一段可知,突击学习对于考试虽然有帮助,但却不利于大学的学习。由此可知,突击学习的帮助是有限的。【长难句子分析】a man who has not had a chance to go swimming for years can still swim as well as ever when he gets back in the water.当多年没有机会游泳的人重新回到水里时,依然能和过去一样游得非常好。who引导定语从句,修饰先行词man;when引导时间状语从句。as well as在句中意为“和一样好”。【疑难词汇解读】exception n.除外;例外;不包括在内的人或物most of the buildings in this town are rather unattractive,but this church is an exception.这座城镇中大多数建筑物都不太好看,但这座教堂是个例外。【长难句子分析】the law of overlearning主语explains谓语why cramming for an examination,宾语从句though it may result in a passinggrade状语从句,宾语从句is not a satisfactory way to learn a college course.宾语从句过度学习的法则解释了为什么突击学习对考试而言能达到通过的分数但却不是一个学习大学课程的令人满意的方法。【山东省2014仿真模拟冲刺卷】emy sister jodie and i are always traveling for workas jewelry designers, we

sunday-school.mary gave him a tin basin of water and a piece of soap, and he went outside the door and set the basin on a little bench there; then he dipped the soap in the water and laid it down; turned up his sleeves; poured out the water on the ground, gently, and then entered the kitchen and began to wipe his face diligently on the towel behind the door. but mary removed the towel and said:“now arent you ashamed, tom. you mustnt be so bad. water wont hurt you.”tom was a little unsettled. the basin was refilled, and this time he stood over it, took in a big breath and began. when he entered the kitchen presently, with both eyes shut and feeling for the towel with his hands, an honorable testimony of bubbles and water was dripping from his face. but when he came out from the towel, he was not yet satisfactory, for the clean territory stopped short at his chin and his jaws, like a mask; below and beyond this line there was a dark expanse of unirrigated soil that spread downward in front and backward around his neck. mary took him in hand, and his flooded hair was neatly brushed, and its short curls formed into an elegant and regular general effect. then mary got out a suit of his clothing that had been used only on sundays during two years - they were simply called his “other clothes” - and so by that we know the size of his wardrobe. after he had dressed himself, mary checked over and over again. now he looked extraordinarily improved but uncomfortable. he was fully as uncomfortable as he looked; for there was a self-control about whole clothes and cleanliness that annoyed him. when m
